What a Coincidence!


Last thursday I had to talk about a topic in my English class. I only Knew that one of these days it could be my turn and I would have to choice among three papers placed face down on the table.

Well, last thursday the teacher said my name. A kind of ray went through my body. I had to go to the teacher's table. My legs were trembling. I had to sit in her chair looking at the rest of the class. All my body was trembling. I had to choose one of the papers and... What a coincidence! I chose the only one which I did not have prepared.

I had a minute to plan my talk. I remembered Matt. I know that it is a nuisance correcting a long writing.  Well, Matt corrected me two very long writings.  One of them about a holiday and another one about a film.(Thanks again, Matt). I think I abused this page. I have been rather tense recently. I needed calm down of some way.

The topic I chose was "Describe your best friend". In that minute, I thought, the die is cast, that it be what God wants. Then, surprisingly, I relaxed. My eyes were aimed forward but I did not look at anybody. I was lost in my thought. I began to talk about my brother Carlos and I was talking and talking and talking until the teacher stopped me.

I do not remember very well what I said but I think the teacher was very pleased.

    Very well done Eduardo, I liked the phrase The die has been cast! I don`t go to class to learn Spanish, so I have no idea what it must be like to stand in front of a class of people and speak Spanish, but it seems that you did very well!!!

  2. Thanks Katie. As I am a bit shy it is very hard. I hope to have the same luck in June. In that moment I will speak in front of three examiners.
